Glass Is Elastic

Featuring a fascination with the fragility of the body, this compilation is a philosophical and scientific exploration of "ways of seeing." Examining a variety of lenses, including that of the eye, the microscope, and the camera, the poet's accomplished lyricism weaves together themes of war, medicine, and vision.
